Re: new fry

I Would just leave them for know and see what happens keep an eye on parents to make sure they are looking after and guarding their spawn.These guys will lay again and again..Do you have anywhere else to put number 3 in the future?If you did that would be a bonus if not I wouldnt worry to much like I said just watch them..convicts are a tough cichlid and know how to look after their spawn..You should go to info section and see if they have any info on the fry..Hopefully somewhere here can help you out more than me.
Congrats by the way..and I wish you all the best with them

Re: new fry

Hey Alan I'm not sure..they have only just become wrigglers havn't they or are they free swimmers?Gee I wish someone who new more about these fish would be online to help you..dont worry though give it another day (time differences) and I'm sure you will get some good advice..in the meantime you should do an internet search on convicts cause you'll get heaps of info..
